Amazon will sap Zappos culture, according to poll

readers_small.jpgADOTAS — In this week’s poll, voters overwhelmingly said that Amazon will change the vaunted culture at Zappos. Readers this week also dissed AOL, the Microsoft/Yahoo deal but praised Linkedin.

MySpace moving toward online gaming
Fef:
“Top 3 activities online? “Communicating, Search and Gaming” — uh, what about porn?

I hope CEO Miller correctly predicted a nearly threefold increase in online advertising.”

Yahoo, not Google, loses in deal

Doug:
“It’s utterly preposterous to me that Microsoft believed(s) it should be a leader in the internet search space when it made its billions on software for PCs.

Pointed out to me long ago was that MS’s space was computers, where Yahoo’s space was as internet portal and Google’s space has become search. These three lead in their respective fields. That MS seems to think it can still control a space it didn’t help create or design the breakthrough tools for shows its total, laughable, arrogance.

Come to think of it, what did MS develop – besides a “market” for PCs? Everything else we know of or use of MS is just a bigger version of someone else’s creation.”

Online video watching rises across the ages

Art Lynch:
“A way to view any internet content directly on your TV wifi would greatly increase the growth of using internet for video viewership. As of now Apple TV, TiVo and other sources have limited product and are on a pay model. On-line could pass broadcast if there were a way to stream HD without censoring to certain services or limited content packages. A pay per view bonanza in the workings.”

AOL rebranding, looming layoffs and not a lot of love

Garbageman:
“hey my grandma loves AOL! wht dont they change the name to AOLAARP?”

rodcook:
“I was an AOL bonded nutcase until they killed the MLM forums and moderators. My Forum on MLM and how to fight Scams was bringing 2000 visitors a day to my http://www.mlmwatchdog.com forum. AOL killed off the MLM moderators because they did not want to pay them.

LinkedIn, a creaky social net that works

Bryant:
“I definitely use LinkedIn almost exclusively for business. I have actually found many clients and contacts by searching and expanding my network. Also the last two jobs I have gotten came from LinkedIn. Both were introduced to me through some of my contacts which also recommended me for the jobs. Facebook/Twitter they are really more for fun. LinkedIn does what it says it does it is a great tool for business.”

AOL media future = TMZ

Brian:
“AOL? Are they still around?

Over the years I’ve please so many customers by making them understand they don’t have to use that crashing, freezing, bloated, window popping, time wasting service.”
